I am so worried about my fiancé , he has no appetite and is permanently tired , he has had severe pain in his chest and a tender tummy . He has let weight too. 

The doctor sent him for an endoscopy, our fear was stomach cancer . They found a hiatal hernia and slight inflammation of the osephegus. They said the did not see signs of cancer but they took a biopsy and are sending him for a blood test and CT scan . 

I’m so worried he has some form of cancer . My mum is very poorly and my dad is battling cancer and I just don’t know what to worry about Next . 

Has anyone else had all these tests after a hiatal hernia diagnosis ?

I should mention he had an op to narrow his osephegus 6 years ago due to acid reflux . 

Any advice or words of wisdom much appreciated x

    Please try not to worry. All of these tests are routine after being diagnosed with a hiatus hernia. Hopefully all will be well and appropriate treatment will be recommended.
